Every human is in the grip of miseries, since they entered in the realm of time and mind and had lost the awareness of self. Hence they are confused that why are they in grip of miseries. One yearn to get rid of misery and immortalize the pleasure forever. And the greatest misery is death. This death hounds every living soul, but fewer are there who have immortalized the death but number is much larger of those for whom death is an inevitable misery. Death is a suffering. Suffering is inevitable as long as one identifies with the mind and body i.e. as long as one is spiritually unconscious. Suffering is external and is caused by external agents. We suffer due to resentment towards others, due to hatred with others, due to jealousy with others and so on. That is like dying every moment due to that suffering. Then let us move away from those ‘others’ and remove the cause of suffering or every minute-death. With cause at some distance, we will immortalize our pleasure and distance ourselves from death.

Inevitable will become evitable. Mortal will become immortal.

But this is short lived as had been mentioned in our number of scriptures. Modern Kaliyuga is age of ‘Kalah (quarrel)’, result is suffering. If there is a boil on a body, which one covers with a nice looking piece of cloth. Will that prevent the boil from becoming painful? No. Then, how to get rid of suffering. Many ask us to ignore the fact and some advise to retort to intoxication.

But, neither is Intoxication correct way of treating the problem of suffering, nor is ignorance.

Our Acharyas diagnosed the basic cause of our problems and had explained accordingly. The cause is forgetfulness of our eternal relation with the Supreme Lord Sree Krishna and while remaining in such state indulging in various non-approved activities, lead to incremental suffering. Proper diagnose and adequate treatment only, will cure the disease. The problem is that our mind always dwells in the past or in the future. The mind, to ensure that it remains in control, seeks continuously to cover up the present moment with the past and the future, so, our real self and goal becomes covered with time, and true realization is obscured by mind, which leads to losing the cherished feelings of certainty in life.

For e.g. There is a family consisting of five members. All five fell sick. Doctor visited their house, diagnosed the problem and prescribed the medication. He further arranged a nurse to nurture proper dose of medicine. A helper is also arranged for regular cleaning, etc. This house have patients, doctors, nurses, attendants, etc. Now can we call such a house, a hospital? On the same lines, this material world is place of suffering (Dukhalya) and everyone is suffering due to one reason or other. And everyone is suffering due to misidentification of the self with the body, mind and false ego due to which we always feel insecure and incomplete.

Eventually these all ego’s have to be relinquished, may be now or later. If we find it hard to believe then we will learn this hard fact when we will feel death approaching. Death is stripping away of all that is not us or that is not ours.

Lead life full. Relish every moment as of own and leave all the egos at bay, you need not die every moment. And for final moment, Supreme Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu gave the powerful method of becoming immortal. Supreme Lord Sri Krishna mentions in Srimad Gita, ‘Leave every dharma and surrender unto me’. When you leave all dharma and perform all actions for the pleasure of Supreme Lord, every movement, every second of yours will be immortalized. Practice working for the pleasure of Supreme Lord and your final death will also become mortal, whereas you will become immortal.
